    This place has a beautiful aesthetic and a relaxed atmosphere. The music was low enough that you…read morecould actually have a conversation, making it a great spot for a date, especially if you're trying to get to know someone. There are plenty of seating options for couples or larger groups, and the sofas were sturdy, comfortable, and clean. The drinks were excellent, and the bartenders were attentive, friendly, and made each drink with care. I believe they offer happy hour all day on Sundays, and the happy hour menu includes several great drink options. I would definitely come back and grab a seat at the bar.

And when you drive by this bar, you may think it's closed too as it's super dark looking from the outside except for the bar sign and the gas lanterns. It gives that speakeasy vibe. Nice you walk in you'll see where the party is happening. Multiple spaces within bar, each offering its own character. The seating gives off a relaxed vibe with couches and carpets a long the floor. Order drinks at the bar and then a place to lounge. The menu offer some unique drinks, including a caviar drink that will set you back somewhere in the low 30s. Worth a visit just for the vibes. Definitely a unique place in Baton Rouge.

    Had lunch last week with 2 friends to celebrate 2 of our birthdays. Ethan was our waiter. He was…read moreexcellent. Very knowledgable and accomodating. He made our birthday celebration very enjoyable! He didn't mind that we stayed way longer than the other patrons so we could catch up on all the news.

    One of Baton Rouge's hidden gems, my coworker raved about this spot leading me to come here with…read moreher and try it out myself for dinner. Now after dining here myself, I'm a firm believer! Apparently, they have an annual limited fixed-price menu ($48) with excellent options over three courses. Unfortunately that option was not available when we dined here in early November. So we went for the pimento cheese balls and I ordered the soup de jour which was a butternut squash bisque. Both items were savory and delicious. The pimento cheese balls is fried and served over some hibiscus pepper jelly which gives a nice sweet kick to the creaminess of the cheese. The bisque is creamy and has a nutty squash punch. We loved both very much! For entrees, I debated between the pork chop and sous vide rabbit. I went with the rabbit since I never had rabbit before (weird right?) and I'm glad I went with it. The rabbit has a nice crispy texture with a gamey taste yet the meat was quite tender when cutting into it. The apple chutney compliments the rabbit well and the butternut squash side and purple cabbage garnish make it a well-rounded dish. My friend/coworker ordered the grilled gulf fish which comes with a creamy risotto. The fish is super tender and pairs well with the risotto with an olive oil finish. We were both satisfyingly stuffed from our meal although we wish we saved room for dessert. Definitely next time! They have an extensive wine and cocktail list. The Strawberry Oaxacan is a favorite along with the Kiwi Daquiri due to the exotic fruit flavors. Sadly I couldn't snap any pictures as I was caught up in sipping my Century Oak Zinfandel. I'm glad they have a Red Zinfandel which is my preferred wine of choice as it's easy to sip and not as full-bodied. Gotta give my friend props for bringing me here. We're already talking about coming here again next time I have an assignment in Baton Rouge. I can't wait!
